Finland: Rank 1 happiness.

Also Finland: Rank 5 suicide rate.

:S

Where'd you get that from??

According to https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/suicide-rate-by-country

Finland has a suicide rate of 15.3, while the US has 16.1

As a Finnish person I hear this very often even in Finland. I'm not sure why it has stuck as a meme for so long that Finland has a very high suicide rate, even though it's actually not true. I think it just stuck from the 90's and early 00's since back then Finland actually had a really high suicide rate due to Nokia going bust and other stuff.
